单词 agro-
释义

agro-comb. form

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.
Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek ἀγρο-.
Etymology: < ancient Greek ἀγρο-, combining form (in e.g. ἀγρονόμος agronome n.) of ἀγρός field ( < the same Indo-European base as acre n.); compare -o- connective. Compare also French agro- (formations in which are found from at least the early 19th cent.). Compare agri- comb. form.Attested from the 2nd half of the 18th cent. in borrowings and adaptations of words ultimately of Greek origin, initially often via French (as e.g. agronome n., agronomy n., agrology n.). Formations within English are found from the end of the 19th cent., earliest in agromania (see quot. 1893 at sense 1), agroindustrial adj. A number of 20th-cent. English formations in agro- have synonymous parallels in agri- agri- comb. form, especially when the second element is not ultimately of Greek origin, as e.g. agribusiness n. beside agrobusiness n. at sense 2, agri-tourism n. at agri- comb. form 3 beside agro-tourism n. at sense 2, agrichemical n. beside agrochemical n., etc.
1. Forming words (typically temporary or ad hoc formations) with the sense ‘of or relating to agriculture’.
